Back in the swing of things

2weeks old today.

Life is returning to normal around here and my sweet baby girl is growing more every day. We are having so much fun playing out side in the warm sunshine which im sure will be leaving us soon. Here are some great fall pictures of the kiddos.. The Lord is doing wonderful things in our life right now , It is amazing to see his hand at work in our life and to be able to walk in peace and trusting him. My life never seems to stay the same for long.... I love it..... Always an adventure.

1 Timothy 2:15

My 1 Timothy 2:15 story!
Not withstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.



God is so wonderful... The power of the Gospel is so amazing I realized this during my childbirth.... Yes I am able to think during contractions and talk with the Lord and it is amazing.... I had a revelation if you will during my hard really painful contractions..... I could relax and smile and pray through them ..Yes I said Smile.. lol . What self control it took to do this... So... With God all thing are possible.... I am really able to have self control in all areas of my life... eating , anger, selfishness, pride fullness ect.. the list goes on.. You know how..... He already died for these things.... When I accepted Jesus as my Saviour I gave him these things.... He paid the price and bore ALL my sin... And He gave me the power over it.. Yes I or We as Christians have the power over sin.... "dose not mean we will be perfect or never sin" But we have the power to over come it and Stop the sinning.... AMAZING..... So I had the power to lay there and scream in pain or "Thank the Lord for my suffering and smile and know that my reward was coming..My sweet Baby Girl, So we can continue to sin and live a life of misery and always asking our self "why can't I over come this" Or Just believe that God did it and OUR reward is greater then this world could ever provide. If you truly believe in the Power of what Jesus did for our sins and walk after the spirit not the flesh, then you will be set free... Thank you lord for my Childbirth and Elizabeth Rose. Stay tuned to see the results of walking after the spirit of God and not the selfishness of my flesh! You will be amazed. I already am. Our God is Awesome.

I want to thank my husband... My teacher. With out your amazing love for me and teaching me the scriptures I would have never understood or had true victory over sin in my life. Im so Glad that God is using you in mighty ways in the lives of others.
Thank you . I love you .

Our Sweet Baby girl.... Born October 14, 2009 at 12:35 at St. Anthony's Hospital.
She weighed 7"9oz and 20in long. A sweet little addition to our family. We praise the Lord for
His goodness to us.

coffee and crayons...

"The lookout"

playing tent

"im on the phone"

"Always shooting at something"

Well it is coffee weather for sure and the kids are stuck inside and coloring alot and playing tent and dragging everything we own out.... EVERYTHING>.. Im trying to keep the house clean... Because I have this silly notion that I could go into labor at any second and I want things done up for John and Tammi but my efforts are not really paying off... So I guess I will have to be humble and ask them to forgive our un-orderliness. But there kids right and 7 of them... so
"where there are no oxen the stable is clean" lol So Im thankful for my oxen.. Also poor Faith fell off the monkey bars last week and smashed the side of her head into the ground.. Scared me half to death and has the ugliest black eye... Poor thing she is trying her limits and failed.... but she is still cute... :)

Well have a great week and I will be induced on Wednesday Oct 14 at St. Anthony's so im excited to at least know there is an end in sight... :) I cant wait to post pictures of our sweet little one.

Happy Birthday Hope

My Sweet Hope Nicole is such a big girl now. She enjoys playing mommy with her bears and carrying a purse and phone... "very important items in a girls accessories". She is so much like Emma! We are so blessed to have her in our life. She came to live with us at 9mo of age and was not even walking yet. The Lord blessed me with being able to have all my girls for there birthdays and even seeing all of them learn to walk. They really are OUR girls.. Here is pictures of her birthday breakfast and the big outing where she "birthday girl" gets to sit up front for the day! This is a big deal for all the children is to ride up front on there birthday.

MONDAY

ENOUGH SAID...... PRAY FOR ME.. . :)

The Waiting Game

Well I am learning once again that God's timing is better then mine. Waiting on this baby is like waiting on a present you know your going to get and you have to wait to christmas to open it... ahhh I hate waiting... lol But I know that in a few weeks I will forget all about that wait as im holding that precious baby in my arms and "trying to chase John Michael" ! He is wild by the way.

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for me and my new baby. We are so blessed by God to enjoy these precious little ones.. Once in a Life time opportunity.. I have 8 children before im 30 , I can't wait to see what the next 10 years will bring.... Its not what YOU want in life... Its what God wants You to do with your life... STOP-and listen, DROP-everything so that you can be directed by God, ROLL-with life's punches.... if a mountain were smooth you could not climb it!. Have a great Week.
